In this section a striped volume will be created using two similarly sized disk drives connected to a Windows Server 2008 system (note that if the disks are of different sizes Windows will base the available volume size on the smallest disk drive in the striped set).
Begin the process by invoking the Disk Management snap-in. This can be achieved by typing '''compmgmt.msc''' at a command prompt window or Run dialog and selecting Storage -> Disk Management. The system used in this example contains three disks numbered 0, 1 and 2 respectively. Disk 0 is the system disk and disks 1 and 2 will be used to created create a striped set.
Within the Disk Management tool right click on the unallocated space in the graphical view of the first disk to be used in the stripe set and select ''Create New Striped Volume...'' to invoke the ''New Striped Volume'' wizard. Click ''Next'' on the welcome screen to proceed to the disk selection screen. As mentioned previously, a striped set can be comprised of anywhere from 2 to 32 disk drives. For the purposes of this example the set will consist of two disks. Initially, the wizard only lists the currently selected disk in the 'Selected'' column. In order to proceed, at least one more disk is required. To add disks to the striped, select a suitable disk from the available disks in the right hand column and click on ''Add'' to add it to the selected disks list:
